Dr. William Seymour Christoe, who has liotiii a prxiuineiit tiiiuru in tlii.s township for the pnsi thirty-six years, died at his homi! Lore on Frid;iy morniua last after an illness of a fuw hours duration, at the a<;e of V!) years and nine month*. The D;-. hud heeo a viiiim of a weak heart for some years and this ovsntua'.ly caused his decease. Dr. ChristoK was probab'y one of _th» most widely known men in thLs cjuuty, hivai^tikenal^eijiatjrus'in policio.dand municipal matters all his life. He waaa m.i'i of sti'ont; convic.ions and a Cunscr v.itive of Coiisttvativoi in polities. In muuicip.iland poliiic.il l).»tt!o3 he made enemies by these trails, bat owing to a dogged dBtermination generally suecseded in jjijiniui; any o'oject upon which he set his heart.- Ordinarily ho wa-s of a kindly and charitable dispusit;i>n and was a lib eral giver to deserving charity and for rtli:;iou3 objects. The Dr.'s force of elui'aoter made him what he was and caused hmi to tii;ht his way upwivrd under adverse circunistanees whicli would have awed luany a young nmu. He wa.s born at Lostwithiel in Cornwall, England, and came to Canada in the year 1S42, at the ttg<! of 18 years. Ho taught a school in th» township of Percy, Inorthunibeiland county, for a short time, when he return- ed to Enijland and wedded Miss Hannah IVarce, who survives liiin. Comiu;; a.;iiin to Canada ho started a mere.iutiU busi- iiess in the vdlai-o of Orouo,whero he lived from 1S59 tn 1S63. He then studied luodiiin-; and jjradua'ol in 1S<5G from Tor- onto School of Medicine. Tlie next year lia c.inii to tliii* county and entered into partnership with the late Dr. Cameron of Owen Sound, «ith wh>m he only re- luaiDcd one year. In 18<i7 he took up his resdence in Ktesherton and .soon sscured a reuiuiifrative practice which he ret lined until about tifteen years ago, when he re- tired in favor of younger men. Such it a brief resume of ihe life of the man who.se death we are now called upou to chronicle.

I on bargam counter at your choice for 99 a matter of pubhc e.':pen:liture. it was a i a <;oud side to err upon. Dr. Chiistoe was a staunch Methodist â€"n msiuber of the church since 1340â€" and .ilways took a keen interest in its welfare, supporiiog it loyally with titian- cial and moral .issis-ance. He was a lif*-, Ions advocate of temperance reform and took a decided stand in the, recent pleb- iscite canipai^^n. The deceased gentle- man was beloved by very many and the passin-,' of his kindly presence will be a Source of ;,'ttn nine ijrief to many friends, although they were forewarned to expect such an end. He passeii peacefully aw.iy Friday ab:)ut noon in the presouoe of his wife and daughter, Mis. (Rev.) Thorn and other near friends. The news came as a sho.k to many m the village who had not heard he was unwell. Personally, tha editor of this paper feels th"vt he has lost a friend in Dr. Christoo. Although we could not always see eye to eye witli him we always paid him the tribute of believing his convictions genuine and ilculat^id to advance the in^terj-sr.s of m irality and humanity wiierever direct ed. We never reco^nizi^ anything soi\lid or mean iu the doctor'ijomposition. He wfls an open anl uuwaTeiini{ opponent â€" an honora'ole, upright and unswerving friend iu adversity. Tiie funeral took place to Flesherton ceiuete>y on Monday of this week. The day was exceedi ugly stormy and bitterly cold, probably one of the worst storms of the winter, but this did not prevent a very large attendance of people from the Tillage and surrounding country. a notable feat ure being the <Jd folks who braved t!je elements to pay their last respect to one who had gone in and cut among them for so many years as physician, coun sclloi and friend. There are, we believe, few homi-s in this vicinity that have not received at sonu time some evidence of kii.dne&s at the hands of the deceased. The fun.iral sermon was dt^livereJ by Rev, hison Wilson, whoso words sunk deeply into the hiajtsof his hearers as ho dwob m>on th« tlieiue of immortali-y and in olo<{UenC phrases pourlrayed the long- i..i;s iiihoreiil in man for a life beyond this life and the righting of all wrongs.
